🋠ALWAYS use freshly-squeezed lime juice from an actual fresh lime. Bottled lime juice from the store will give your salsa a strange metallic or overly acidic taste.
Want to get the most juice possible from each of your fresh limes? Of course, we do!
Here’s a quick trick:
On your counter or a cutting board, press and roll the lime back and forth very firmly with your hands.
The rolling loosens and breaks down some of the citrus membranes and makes the outside a little more pliable.
This makes it easier to squeeze which also means you’ll likely get more juice from your squeeze.
Let me know how this works for you!
